    Can somebody tell me what are the pros and cons of running hfaxd
    using inetd.conf. 

You may or may not use inetd(1M) to boot-up hfaxd(1M) for
connects on the ports supported by HylaFAX; both methods
should work fine if you use the appropriate options for hfaxd(1M)
(see the man page for details);

for heavy used systems it's better to run hfaxd(1M) standalone
and let hfaxd(1M) directly LISTEN on the ports; the pro for this
is that inetd(1M) doesn't have to boot a new hfaxd(1M) from
the disk for each incoming client connect;
